It was a bitter dose to Mt. Logan: as he has made a special effort to win a point in the 'passage of the bill., In fact the - bill has been Logan’s pet measure and he feels his defeat very keenly. ” Twelve Republicans voted with the Démocrats against the bill.

The tide of emmigration that had set in for these points was greatly diverted 'by the inactivity of the railroads.

L —-—'-—‘fs’o’——-—-——-— 4 - Oxe of the most important events in the history of the lgnglisli nation took place lass Thursday when Glad--stone, the great Liberal leader, ad- . dressed the house of Commons in sup- - 'port of his bill giving to the people " of the Emerald Isle home rule, %ever has there been so much excitement manifested over a public question and the_gathering of great men to hear the speech of the grand old man. It was remarkable in many respects. Many in"order to serure seats entered the ~ house twelve hours before the speech . began, The streets foramany blocks - were wholly obstructed by staid English citizens wishing to extend to Eng- . land’s greatest statesman a rousing welecome. His trip from his house to

the Halls of Parliament was a perfect ovation as well as was his reception * in the house of Commons. His measures may fail but he certainly made a grand stride in public favor. It 18 xow fully settled that no change will be made during the present_session of confess in the existinfiinage laws.' Last Thursday the bill providing for free coinage of silver was disposed of by a vote of 163 nays to 126 yeas. Many silverites voted against the bill, not wishing to open the question. A significant vote on this point was reached during the debate. Mr. Dibble,of South Carolina, moved as an amendment a provision for the suspension in July, 1889, until further ordered by Congress, of so much of the act of ¥B7B as requires the egropent amount of coinage, provided that no general remonetization by international action shall take p{we in the interim. On this question the vote was 84 in the affirmative and 201 in the negative. This large n?onig of 117, on a vote of nemg;_ a full House, makes it certain :thati -the friends of silver have the power in thcirhmdu&d t&ufixmwfll be no suspension of the silver coinage for some time to come. =

Hox. Georce Forp, the member of Congress from the 13th district,has opeénly avowed his intenfion of reentering private life at the end of his present term. He will not accept the nomination under any circumstances. Many available candidates can be found in the several ceunties that make up the district.

PracricaLLy the railroad strike has collapsed. The trains on nearly all of the roads have been, moved during the past week with regularity and without opposition.. There are many points of difference between the Knights of Labor and the- railroad managers that yet remain unsettled, and it is hardly probable that an early understanding will be reached.

Tae vores of Hon. Robert Lowry upon the silver question were both in-unigon with the opinion of the large majority of his' constituents. He voted for the Bland bill which provides for the free coinage of silver, but was in the minority, and upon the proposition of Dibble to suspend coinage, Mr. Lowry was found voting for silver. _He was/in each division and in such company as Holman, Cobb, Matson, of Indiana, Curtin, of Pennsylvania and LeFevyre, of Ohio.

Tre Action of the Democratic Qounty Central Committe, last Tuesday, in providing for the appointment of delegates to the state, district and judicial convention, is deserving of the highest commendation. This method is, in point of fact, the only correct one by which to make selections of delegates. 'The nearer such political action can be brought home to the people the better for them and for the cause of true Democracy. Home rule is a favorite democratic doctrine. Tue BANNERis especially grateful that the “home rule” theory has at last been introduced into this county by reason of the fact that,as far, back as 1876 this paper advocated the township plan for the appointment of delegates. . Indeed, delegates to the state convention were that year se; lected by-townships. In 1882, after the congressional convention held at Kendallville, Tur BaANNER elaborated a plan far guarding against complications by which all delegates to congressional and similar conventions were to be chosen by townships. This plan once adopted will be found to give very general satisfaction..

MEETING OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. Last Tuesday, in response to the call issued by order of fon. E. B. Gerber, chairman of the county central committee, a large majority of the members of that bpdy met in the court room at Albion. At eleven o’clogk the meeting was called to order and the chairman stated the object of the call, To agree upon a method and date of selecting delegates to attend the State and several district conventions. A well-timed address counseling harmony and good will was made by Mr. Gerber, after which the roll was called, sHowing a nearly full attendance. Upon motion the chairman aappointed alcommittee of three; Sol Baum, James C. Stewart and John E. Walters, to apportion the delegates to the several conventions, Thecommittee a few minutes later made the following report.

Myers, of Orange, to call a mass convention at Albion on Saturday, May 1, 1886. This motion did not recsive a second, when James C. Stewart, of Noble, introduced the following resolution:.

REBOLVED, That this committee instruct the chairmen, Hon, E, B. Gerber, to order the township committeeman of each township to call mass conventions in their respective townships, with the exception of Washington and Sparta, York and Albion, in which cases the chairmen of the-two townships shall act in conjunction in callIng joint conyentions for the selection of delegates to the State, and the several district conventions, on the apportionment heretofore agreed to. ¢

The resolution was seconded by. a number of the members of the com mittee, and upon ' its passage was adopted by a vote of 13 to 5. Motion was. made by J, E. McDonald, that Saturday, May 1, at 2 o’clock, be the time when caucuses in the several townships shall be held. Agreed to unanimously. e By motion the chairman of the county central committee was Instructed to call a mass-convention, to be held at Albion at such time as his judgment would direct, and that thé representation of each township in that convention be 6ne vote for each ten cast for Governor Gray, and that votes be taken by townships. No further business appearing, the committee adjourned. - : - J."E. MCDONALD, Sec’y.

TEN DAYS AT WASHINGTON, A Fertilo Field for Political Explorations, ; And a Delightful Spot Wherein to : Bury quuleil Ambition, 111 : FANCIFUL STORY SPOILED. “ My attention has just been directed to a pretty little romance that appeared in the editorial columns of the South Bend Tribune of March 23, and which I am constrained to notice by reason of the fact that it has been- rolled as a sweet morsel in the mouths of certain individuals in this city. This pretty litromance reads thus;

“A Washington dispatch says that when the Indiana delegation called on the President on Saturday, with Mr. Stoll, all were “gracefully received” until all had talked about the eminent fitness of Mr. Stoll for the office of public printer, when “Mr. Cleyeland smiled, turned toward the south window, looked with a far-off gaze in the direction of the Washington monument, picked from his great desk a blue pencil, wrote the name of Editor Stoll on a slip of executive mansion note paper, and said that he would not make any change in the office of public printer at the present time, and had no thought of doing so ‘at this session of Congress.” As Congress will not adjourn before next July, our esteemed contemporary will have to possess his soul in patience another three months. Meantime he can read Longfellow's Evangeline. It may be an act of cruelty to puta large sized hole into the pretty fabric so unctuously thrust upon the reading community,but decent regard for truthful history demands a slight interference with the Uriah Heep' performances of our more or less esteemed neighbor. :

_ In the first place Mr. Stoll did not ac- ‘ company the Indiana delegation to the executive mansion at any time during} his stay at Washington. Sincea bill of particulars seems to be demanded, we will state for the information of all concerned that Mr. Stoll had.what is called a private interview with the President on the afternoon of March 17, during which the public printership was fully discussed. In the course of this conversation the President stated that he had been informed by a member of the congressional printing committee ‘that certain important legislationiwas in contemplation regarding the goverament printing office; that in view of this and cerfain other circumstances he was not prepared to say thal a change would be made at the expiration of Rounds’ four years; that he would seek additional information on the subject, and advise me of his conclusion at as early a period as possible. When the Indiana delegation called on the President three days later the points Just stated alone were referred to or discussed. The “eminent fitness” ftalk, the smiling, the turning toward the south window, looking a far-off gaze in the direction of the Washington monument, the blue pencil romance and all that sort of moonshine is pure and unadulterated fiction——manufactured, presumably, for the specific edification of such gudgeons as the editor of the Trbane. . - : s

‘ That the decision of the President, not to make ‘a change at present, for the reasons already indicated, was a disappointment to the Indiana delegation, is quite correct. The public printership has for over a year been considered Indiana’s share of the administration’s patronage. - When the President indicated last fall that he desired to ‘ permit Mr. Rounds to serve out a four iyears‘ term, the matter was permitted ito rest so far as the delegation and ‘ their candidate were concerned. Inas‘much as Mr. Rounds’ four years expire on ‘the 13th inst, it is quite natural ‘that the latter part of March should have been chosen as a proper time to move for a decision. When the President announced his decision to the delegation and requested that the same be communicated to Mr. Stoll, in ‘aceordance with his promise three days prior, the mission of the delegation, for the time being, was ended, and not a word was spoken with refference to the politiical bearing of the case. _ ‘ As to the Tribune’s “esteemed contemporary possesing his soul in patience another three months,” that oracle may rest assured that Mr. Stoll will lose no sleep on account of the public printership. His candidacy has. long since ceased to be a personal matter. Whether the public printership,finally comes here or goes elsewhere, will not even afford’an incentive to read Longfellow’s “HEvangaline.” The novelty of that ‘thing has long since passed away. Time ‘was when other feelings prevailed in regard to that matter. Should the prize come to Indiana,its direct recipient will see that the state is not dishonorad; should it go elsewhere such specimens of humanity as the editor of the Tribune can swell their shriveled- souls by ‘copious drafts upon their surplus gall. ‘ OFFICE SEEKING is not pursued with much vigor now. As compared with a year ago, comparatively fewvapplicants for official positions are to be found in the city. - The novelty seems to "have passed away. Still, there is no dearth of candidates for any vacancies that may exist or occur from time to time. At any rate no complaints are heard that the powers that be have been obliged to resort to a draft in order to preserve the efficiency of the public service. - : SOME DO RESIGN. ; It has become a maxim in the political world that “few die and mome resign.” Indiana is credited with having & fondness for official station, and yet it is-susceptible of easy demonstration that the Hoosier commonwealth has 'carried away a very modest porportion of the loaves and fishes. So far this ‘state Has not drawn a single prize that has attached to it any patronage worth !mentioning. And yet an Indianian came all the way from the far west to itender his resignation. Ex-State Senator Fred. Hoover, of Remington, Ind., ‘spent two or three’months at Washington, last year, tosecure an Indian agen)cy. After a very hard and arduous ) fight he managed to “ get there. ” An i experience of six or eight months seems to haye sufficed to cure him of the In}.‘dian Agency itch. He hastendered his resignation which has presumably been Jaccepted by this time. Fred. rays he v hamersd and snnoved by o gang of old republican rats that cling to the agency . over which he has until recently presided, and inasmuch fas Fred. proposes to issue a_proclamation in the near future which he says will

to the demomay of Indiana. A has a magical effect. It speedily converts surliness into a smooth, even and gracious temper. I had occasion to no-. tice this very strikingly in the demeanor of a fully matured colored “chore boy” of perhaps twenty-five years of age. Having eccasion to send him out several times on brief errands, I soon discovered that a “tip” in theshape of a quarter added amazingly to his speed and the thoroughness of the discharge of the trust imposed upon him. During my entire stay, this ebony-cclored “man and brother” was touchingly mindful of my personal comfort and graciously Isubservient to my will and pleasure. Another illustration was furnished in the bathingapartmentsof the house of representatives. I made it a point to take several steam baths there last summer. Deeming these baths a ‘special benefit to my physital organiza—tion, 1, of course availed myself of the first opportunity to undergo a sweating process in the congressional bath-rooms. The customary “tip” here is 25 cents. Somehow I never fully enjoy a bath of any kind without the painstaking assistance and vigorous manipuiation of a robust unbleached American of African decent. Tome a bath was incomplete without brushing, scrubbing and rubbing, coupled with skillful treatment of corns, bunions and toe. nails. In the performance of these more or less delicate operations I have found the“freemen who glorifies a man's boots and votes the republican ticket with persistent regularity” far superior to any Caucasian who has endeavored to make himself useful and serviecable in a hike capacity. For this particular business give me a good darkey every time. = Being a guest rather than'a privileged character in these congressional bathing apartments, I demonstrat-. ed to my own satisfaction that the par -yalue of the benefits derived therefrom ‘was at least fiifty cents, double the usual congressional fee. Owing to circum- | stances over which I had no control, I ‘missed the attendant who served me so 'well last year and was entrusted into new hands. The next day I leisurely passed through one of thecorridors of the capitol when I was accosted by my darky friend of 1-85. He mildly chided me for not having demanded his service “ob de boss ob de institution,” and did not allow ‘me to pass on until T had made a solemn promise to “call onWilliam de nex time you take a bath.” That extra quarter, you see, formed a solid basis for his partiality for my humble self. AS ALREADY INDICATED . Indiana has knocked the maxim, “Few die and norne resign” into a cocked hat. Fred. Hoover's resignation as Indian agent has been noted. I understood that another Indianian, Captain Webb, of Covington, who some time last year was appointed Register: of the Land Office in Utah, is now in Washington for the special purpose of tendering his resig nation. While. walking down fourteenth street one day I met Harry Fry, of Grant county, who was door-keeper of the house of representatives at Indianapolis during the session of 1885. It took Harry a long time to capture his prize, some sort of a position in the land department. Harry looked. a trifle dejected. Knowing thal/he had just been appointed a few weeks prior, linquired how he liked official life. He opened his coat, and pointing to a sheet of paper. said: “Here 1s my resignation.” I inquired why things were thus? he answered: “I went up to the Interior department to receive my instructions. Secretary Lamar requested me to tender my resignation.” “Why did Lamar demand your resigHiation?li

“He wouldn't say.” , “Queer proceeding, isn'tit?” Harry thought so himself. I met him later. He told me ex-Senator McDonaltfi;ad, gone up tosee Lamar about the matter, and since Uncle Joe had talked to the poetical secreiary on the subject the resignation was not wanted near so badly as Lamar imagined. At any rate on my way home I met Harry at the depot in Altoona. A smileilluminated his countenance. He said he had received his instruetions, and was on his way out west to enter upon the discharge of his official duties. While. talking with Harry at Washington, he told rhe he would cheerfully give $1,500 if he could expunge his experience of the past year and had never applied for a position under this administration.

THE DAY BEFORE SECRETARY MANNING was stricken down by an apoplectic attack I called upon that distinguished gentlem®n in company with Judge Lowry. This ‘was my ‘first meeting with Mr. Manning. | He is a much larger man than T had supposed him to be. He was quite jovial and seemed to be in a very happy frame of mind. I judged him to be a very clever gentleman, easy to get along with and a tnoroughbred Democrat. With the efficient help of Eugene Higgins, of Baltimore, Mr. Manning has affected a pretty thorough renoyation of the Treasury Department. Of course under the operation of the civil service law, there is still a goodly number of “rascals” in subordinate positions, but most of the big, fat rats have been lured into quarters of dignified retiracy. e : ¢ New York is quite largely represented in the Treasury Department, so much so that it is now popularly known as the New York Hotel. : R

The serious illness of Mr. Manning is sincerely and profoundly lamented. He is nniversally respected at Washington. I haye no idea that he will resume the duties of his high office. The nature of his illness forbids. He may recover, but if he values his life, as he doubtless does, he should not think of loading himself down with the burdens of the Tr&asury D.e]partment.And why should he voluntarily hasten the march to the grave? He has been a hard worker all his life, and having risen from the humbler walks of life to a position of commanding influences, he can Jjustly claim a respite from the onerous duties of a Jaborous trust. Being in affluent circumstances he will probably go abroad to seek a restorfation of his physical strength. “With proper care he ought to haye allotted to him a good many years of needed rest and well earned comfort. ,

He Had Salt Rhenm For 20 Years. A. Manvel, Ass’t Supt. & G. P, Agt. C., R. L, & P. R, writes: “For twenty years I have been afflicted with salt rheum in a most serious form. During the winter season, my haunds have ‘been in such a condifion that I could not dress or undress myself without assistance, and bave not had gloves or bandages off me hands for about four months, until I began using Papillion (extract of flax) Skin Cure. I certainly think that it has cured my hands.”— Large bottles only $l.OO at all drug stores. b

POLITICS AT WASHINGTON. How Thfiags Look to an ‘‘Old Stager’’—Caution and Timidity of Party Leaders—General Stagnation the Result. : . [From Our Special Correspondent.]

. WaAsHINGTON, D, C., March 30, 1886. I ever volitics could be said to be in a comatose condition, that word would now best describe the sort of stupor that prevails poltically. Democrats and republicans are alike “at sea” as to future prospects of their respective parties, or even as to the course best to pursue at the present time. The proceedings of congress make these facts very apparent. On neither hand is there anyevidence of the old-time ag gressive party spirit by which debates there were so continually enliyened, and which drew crowded galleries to hear bitter displays of partisan eloquence. There is absolutely nothing now before congress, or likely to come before if, to ‘arouse enthusiasm or call forth any very scathing denunciation. Hence the sessions are as dull and tame as a Quaker meeting, and were it not for the few hundred “Micawbers,” who are -waiting here mostly in the vain hope of procuring some little office or another, the congressional galleries would be’ deserted. These gentlemen find them a convenient, if not comfortable, loafing place, and compose -at least two-thirds of the congressional gallery audience. - 3

The preyailing state of political apathy is not very difficult of explanation. The republicans seem to be yet ina smed condition over thejr presider¥s# defeat, and have not yet settled upon any definite party policy for the future, butare apparq)ntly waiting in the hope (which may not be altogether baseless) that they will be able to evolve the issues of coming campaigns of material furnished by democratic blunders. Even the gentlemen composing so influential and stalwart a body of republicans as the National Union League, which recently held its annual convention in this city, seem to be animated, or rather paralyzed, by this same spirit of inaction. | Their address to the “loyal” brethren of that organization is a very spiritless and moncommittal production, and in no way calculated to arouse the sinking spirits of their wavering followérs, es~ pecially that very respectable number of them who still continue to draw official “Mugwump” pap—by the grace of Grover Cleveland. : :

The democrats,‘*on the other hand, may be said to be passing through a reactionary mental experience—that produced by - a sudden ‘change from bucyant hopes-and expectations to the saddening ‘influences and depressing tendencies of hope too long déferred, and with the further melancholly outlook that under this administration there is but slim prospect of it ever heing realized. The President’s strict adherence to Mugwump theqries of civil seryice reform have beyond doubt turned a victorious and always, (even when smarting under oft-repeated defeats), aggressive party, into a despondent, lukewarm and disgusted organization. ; i

Added to these elements ‘of political stagnation, there enters another —that of great uncertainty as to the real feelings and wishes of a majority of the people on some of the intrigate political problems that both parties are anxious to deal with, and yet each are in doubt as to the popular chord to strike, as well as.to the immediate economic effects that a disturbance of the present order of things would entail. The tariff and the silver question are 'fixe great bug-a-boos that most frighten them, and it is more than likely that while some very important charges may be made in the former, the latter will be left practically undisturbed, or if it is touched at all it will be simply to take away from the secretary of the treasury the power he now Wwields in discriminating against silver in paying bondholders and other creditors of the government, and making it obligatory on him to pay out the “Daddy Dollar” whenever he has any of ‘these muchdespised coin on hand. There are those who think that this single mandatory provision would at once satisfactorily solve the silver problem, and that we would hear no more about the 79 cent dollar. : § :

While th.ejlegis}’t'xtors on both sides of the chamber, and at either end of the capitol, are thus permeated by a spirit of timidity and inaction, so far as measures of great public policy are concerned, they all,—or at least the, overwhelmning majority of them,— show an eager disposition to relieve the treasury of its surplus accumulations, and never periaps before were so many private bills, calling for drafts on the treasury, on the calendar as there are now, and most of them that come up g 0 thirough with very little show of opposition. They involve all sorts of claims against the government in connection with the late war, but are mostly for the allowance of pensions. This pension business is really assuming alarming proportions, and if some brave man, who is not afraid of having his motives misconstrued, don't put a stop to the congressional = demagoguery by which the people’s money 1s being voted away by the miliion at the dictation of claim agents, and with butlittle regard for the benefit of the soldier or his heirs, the result will be a tremendous and constantly increasing instead of lessening claims pn the treasury.

One effect, of I’T'esident Cleveland’s civil service Mugwump policy is clearly to be seen in the comparatively few office-seekers tQ be met with here. This fact of course will be interpreted by the friends of that so-called reform into a healthy sign of political purity ‘and progress, and has not escaped the ‘notice of the leading Mugwump papers. And yet there are; many old!fashioned politicians, and honest ones ‘too—albeit they are what is contemptuously called spoilsmen—who take a different view of the matter. They argne, and certainly not without some show of logie, that this very absence of representative democrats from Wash= ington—men |seeking positions for those who have been instrumental in achieving democratic success—is not such an evidence of political regeneration as ought to be a source of unmixed pleasure to the administration. On the contrary it is their idea that the President in being deprived of the sug{zestiops of such Vgem‘ocrmtic. local moral eaders, is deprived of information that would be of the greatest value to him in estimating the real temper of the- democratic masses touching the general courso of s adminisiraion.

. East St. Lovis, lIL., April Ip.—Yesterday was a day of intense exfitement in East St. Louis. All was quyiet until half-past 2 in the afternoon,|when a posse of fifteen armed dfieputie in the pay of the Louisville & Nashville Railway company, provoked by the taunts of ‘men, women, and children. fired upon an unam¥ed crowd at the Broadway crossing of the Louisvile & Nashville Road. Seven persons were either Xkiiled instantly or received wounds from which they died- later, and four were seriously injured. When their work was done the deputies fled for their lives. One was caught and beaten nearly to death by the mob. The rest escaped, most of them seeking gafety at the Four Courts in St. Louis, where ,the(?r were lockedup. Theshooting caused the most intense excitement and the strikers and their sym{vathizerq were thirsty for revenge. With the %reat.est difficulty the leaders of the nights of Labor persuaded. the men to restrain themselves. No .further violence was enacted. On being informed of the situation Gov. Oglesby at once ordered eightmilitia companies 1o the scene. Last night orders were issued to two more companies. Several military companies arrived from Deeatur, Springfield, and Nashville early in the evening, and it was thought their arrival would quell all riotous proceedings. . = A few moments before midnight fire broke out in the ' Louisyille and Nashville gards, several cars being fired at about. the same time. Kast .St. Louis has no fire department, and in response to an appeal from Mayor Joyce two enfines were sent over from St. Louis. The strikers did nothing until the firemen had got their hose laid “and gone to work. Then they commenced cutting the hose and intimidating the firemen. These threats had the desired effect, and the firemen returned to St. Louis, leaving the fire lp DOSS.OSSIOH. . Lhaf] Soon'after the fire in the.Louisville & Nashville yards had broken out flameg'shot into the air in:the neighborhood of the Cairo Short Line yards. Several cars had been fired in. there and the flames had %)read from them to the Cairo Short. Line roundhouse. Simultaneous with the appearance of flames at this point fire broke out at three other points, and it looked as though all the railroad pl'ofel'ty in the town was to be destroyed. 'The strikers went around carrying clubs and pistols and no one saw fit to interfere with them. The militia were not visible at ah'if stage of the proceedings. "here is a report that the Little rolling mill a mile or more sout? of the Cairo Short Line is on fire, but this is not verified.

8 a. m.—Everything isreported quiet. A heavy rain is falling. Three conflagrations are now in Progress in the southern portion of the city, in the yards of the Cairo Short Line. The militia has so far afforded no protection against fire. It is feared that hundreds of thousandsof dollars’ worth of railroad property will be destroyed before morning. 4:30 a. m.— A} this hour the fires are still raging furipusly. The militia is massed on the bridge, and the town is still in the hands of the rioters, although half a dozen companies of militia are present.. EaAsTt St. Louis, 111., April 10, 5 a. m.—The fires are now under control. Fifty freight cars, scale-houses, and a lumber yard were completely destroyed by fire. Round houses and Shops partially saved. No railway officials are around to direct troops where they will be most needed. -The fires were -all incendiaries, and started about 9 o’clock last night. Large crowds of strikers and citizens are collected in groups -all over the city and still determined to have revenge for yesterday’s massacre. Public - sentiment is. running high. Firemen and engines were sent from St. Louis to help put out the fire, but their hose was cutand men intimidated. They returned without assisting. : St Lovuts, Mo., April 12.—Yesterday was one of absolute quietin Kast St. Louis. Gen. Reece, with his force increased by the seven additional companies which arrived Saturday night and early Sunday morning. has been able- systematically to c¢over. every strategic point in the city, and any fear which may have been felt from the torch of the incendiary has almost entirely ceased. As a matter of fact, the alarm which permeated the city before the arrival of the troops seems very materially lessened, ‘and it is now believed that the worst is over.

After making a tour of the city and conversing with all classes of residents, the impression is conveyed that the arrival of troops was believed from the first to be the only and natural outcome as a relief from the confessed inability of the civil authorities to enforce order. Many of the resident workingmen, although classed among the strikers, express satisfaction at the fact that the troops are in the town. The soldiers have not yet been compélled to do any firing, and, unless the present quiet belies- the actual condition of affairs, the commanding offlcer expresses the belief that no agtual demonstration will be required from the troops beyond that of tleir Fresence until the existing difficulties have ended. The funeral of three victims of the, tragedy of last Friday—Driscoll, Washington, and Boner—occurred yesterday n{ornin;: from St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic church., A mass was celehrated enr]?" in the fnr({fioon and about 9:30 o’clock the funeral column proceeded to the cemetery. Three hearses followed each other, and were followed in turn by about fifteen carriages and other conveyances. .On the sidewalk flanking the carriages were about fifteen hundred Knights of Labor, Knights of Ilonor, and other labor organizations, who marched in regular order, proceeding in this way to the cgmetery. At the head of this body of marchers was the mayor, the city clerk, the chief of police, and the twelve patrolmen, who constituted the entire protective, force of East St. Louis. A band of music preceded the labor organizations and sounded a funeral dirge. The column marched by a circuitous route from the church, keeping east of the relay depot, where the main body of the troops are stationed, but passing by the front of the Green Tree house near which ‘the tragedy occurred, and groceeflxn&out Broadwz*ql to the cemeery. In the afternoon the funeral of Maj. Rychman and Mrs. Pfeiffer, two other .vlctjgn§, took place, the bodfy of the latter being taken to the city of St. Louis for interment. =

Early in the evening:an order was issued directing Col. Smith and the Bth infantry to patrol that portion of the city lying between the Mississippi east to the main line of railroad leading to bridge across the river, and Lieub.-Col. Culver with the sth infaittry was ordered to patrol the section east of the relay depot. The specific orders‘to the officers are to disperse all crowds of men, even in squads of two or three, and in case of assault or resistance to arrest. the offenders and turn -them over to the sheriff. In case of resist“ance such as imperils the lives of the troops or the public Feace they are authorized to employ all the foree at their disposal. This is in strict com~pliance with the written authority of the sheriff of St. Clair county. : ' CRUSHED AND BURNED:. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., April B.—A terrible disaster occurred onthe TFitchburg railroad last nightymidway between DBardwell’s TFerry and West Deerfield station, the east-bound passenger train due at Greenfield at6:os o’clock I{l m, going over an embankment eighty or one hundred feet high.
